This report seeks to determine how food system actors have perceived recent shocks and stresses on their food systems; identify collective actions and public policies, including the role of local governments and actors; and provide insights on moving towards greater food system resilience.

The following section presents the methodology used to collect the perceptions of food system actors as a primary source for the case study comparison.

Thereafter, the results are presented, based on the three main blocks focused on in this study: shocks and their impacts; public policies and collective responses; and the recommended next steps.

Finally, this report concludes by indicating the main questions and hypotheses revealed by this comparison as inputs for further work on the resilience of the city region food system.

The report is conducted by Thierry Giordano, with contribution from Jess Halliday (RUAF) and FAO CRFS team (Guido Santini, Carmen ZuletaFerrari, Roman Malec, Isabella Trapani, Jia Ni).
